The botanical garden statue said ... I also was impressed. The picture you have chosen seems beastl

To Richard Avedon (1923-2004), fashion photography was more a way of life that expression. The man who revolutionized the static prints girl talk songs of the magazines, which seem able to afford something fresh and lively, world-weary ended had given much of his fame and money. For him, beauty was something else and was somewhere else. "There is a fashion line that separates what I call my work deep. Nobody girl talk songs cares what I think of myself, but what I think is a portrait". Avedon spoke these words in 1974. Behind him, nearly thirty years decisive in Harper's Bazaar and Vogue, and the certainty that it was one of the great photographers of the twentieth century who, with a legacy portentous, had captured the faces of artists, writers, politicians, models, workers and marginalized. But his relationship with fashion came from further back. His father owned a clothing store, and a child was familiar with the windows. Surrounded by women (his mother, his sister, his cousins and aunts), got used to eavesdrop and listen to talk about beauty and dresses. However, the November 6, 1995, The New Yorker published the latest fashion photo shoot Avedon. Entitled In memory of the late Mr. and Mrs. Comfort, New York photographer - I would die of a stroke in Texas in 2004 - narrated in 26 color pages a 'fable' of terror girl talk songs and destruction, a staging girl talk songs Baroque , a hell of luxury and fashion. An unrecognizable Avedon was a bang in fashion with a fireworks fire, pagan sex and glitz. The man who could capture as few the other side of some of the coolest masks history (Marilyn, Bacon, girl talk songs Isak Dineesen), who found truth in the American West anonymous people, it was a critical look at post-war new look and whose name was synonymous with sophistication and glamor, girl talk songs said goodbye denouncing the same consumer society that had nurtured him. Goodbye fashion. Goodbye seduction. Avedon knew that fear is one of the engines of human beings: "We hide ourselves, but all seek the same thing: to be accepted, to be comforted"
Uh just awesome! Avedon is one of my idols in photography ... you know that started around 10 years to take pictures? And that his first model was Sergei Rachmaninov? A very comprehensive post and accompanying photos are great. A big hug August 26, 2008 10:40

Hello Sibyla is true what you say in your last paragraph. But perhaps what I miss AVEDON, was the lack of genuine people around. Living on the surface of life when you have an inner strength that moves you to another part creates conflict. In the end he suffers girl talk songs and confused ... We seek love and be understood and not finding that understanding, we hide ... Thanks Sibyla by this reflection. M.José August 26, 2008 11:40
